Mitt Romney sends 'best wishes' to Trump

Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee, sent his best wishes to the
New York businessman on Twitter.

"Best wishes for our duly elected president: May his victory
speech be his guide and preserving the Republic his aim," he
wrote.

Romney strongly opposed Trump over the past several months. The
former Massachusetts governor even went as far as to give a
speech denouncing him and his vision for America.

Trump returned fire, calling Romney a "choke artist" for failing
to capture the presidency in 2012.

The Associated Press declared Trump the president-elect at 2:30
a.m. ET, shortly after the wire service placed Wisconsin in his
column.

Trump's victory was one of the most stunning political upsets in
history. Clinton was strongly favored to emerge as the victor on
Tuesday night, with some analysts estimating Trump's odds of
winning the election as low as 1%.
